Wouldn't it be better to write a javadoc-like generator that

In other words, use JAXB for marshalling/unmarshalling/schema
generation. Use inifinispan javadoc generator for documentation.
I looked around a bit more to see that now in JAXB 2.x we have
annotations as well :) If we annotate our configuration beans with JAXB
annotations I suppose we can do exactly what you suggest - use JAXB for
marshalling/unmarshalling/schema generation and at the same time use
those annotation in a custom tool that creates reference documentation.
By creating your own XML parsing you've just complicated the
maintenance
problems for future maintainers of infinispan.
I agree.
